Agreed, deloptes the wise,

that's what I'm going to do. Targeting emu10k2 cards (see below).

However the adapter pci-e to pci adapter (Nick suggested) is useful in another 
experiment. 

As for the card, I'm buying this one
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX PCIe 5.1 
https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaster-Audigy-Performance-Headphone/dp/B00EO6X4XG

I'll make me own connection breakout box. According to user reviews, it's 
linux compatible. It uses the emu10k2 driver so for $43 US, I'll give it a 
go.

If anyone finds any definitive problems with this card, please let me know.

Thanks to everyone for all the input. I feel better giving the above card a 
go.

I'll report back, in detail, my results.

Maybe we should start a dbase of all our hardware, what works, worked and 
didn't. It could be helpful to others.

Thanks again to all,

Kate
